Original Wikitext content:
Mohajira is a meantone temperament that splits 3/2 into two 11/9's and the 4/3 into two 11/10's. It can be thought of as meantone with quarter tones as it merely spits the generator 3/2 into two equally spaced neutral thirds. Among the most common is the seven note MOS mohajira[7] which consists of the steps LsLsLss, as well as the Modmos "Rast" which merely flats the fourth by one quarter tone. =Modes and MOS= There are seven diatonic modes of mohajira which are structured in an analogous way to the seven church modes of the major scale. They can be thought of as quarter tone altered modes in a 24 EDO setting, but also as microtonal altered scales in any equal temperament. While the Mohajira[7] MOS by itself is quite beautiful, the Modmos, Rast tends to be more expressive as it contain a few major and minor thirds allowing for more contrast. Because there are too many possible Mohajira Mos and Modmos, Kentaku has organized a way to think of the progression of accidentals in the modes of Mohajira. The scales are organized based on evoking slightly different colors and categorized by different levels of alteration from a meantone scale. A Mos of Mohajira[10] can be used in order to improvise on all the common Modmos of mohajira. Here are the scales with 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 being the major scale. ==Level 0 - Mohajira MOS - The Neutral Diatonic scale== 1 2 v3 ^4 5 6 v7 1 or C D Ed Ft G A Bd C ==Level 1 - Mohajira ModMOS by 1 alteration== Rast - 1 2 v3 4 5 6 v7 1 or C D Ed F G A Bd C ==Level 2 - Mohajira ModMOS by 2 alteration== Altered Melodic Minor - 1 2 b3 4 5 6 v7 1 or C D Eb F G A Bd C Turkish Minor - 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7 1 or C D Ed F G A Bd C Bayati - 1 d2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 1 ==Level 3 - Meantone by 3 alterations== [[image:altered mohajira levels.PNG]] =Harmonization of Mohajira= While the structure of mohajra[7] is virtually the same as meantone[7] with neutral tones instead of semitones, the scale doesn't harmonize in the same manner. Because there is now only one middle sized third, it's best to imagine. See also [[Meantone family#Mohajira]].
